United fightback to salvage a point as Chelsea stunned at Sunderland

Manchester United rescued a remarkable 4-4 draw against Aston Villa with two stoppage-time goals to potentially keepMichael Carrick’s job alive, while Chelsea were stunned 1-0 at Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday.

United, in the relegation zone and winless in eight league games, were 2-0 down inside four minutes at Old Trafford.

Alysson scored in the first minute after a mistake by Senne Lammens and Nicolas Jackson added a second three minutes later.

Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the penalty spot and Youri Tielemans equalised before half-time.

John McGinn restored Villa’s lead from the spot in the 48th minute before Leon Goretzka made it 4-2 in the 53rd minute.

Joshua Zirkzee gave United hope in stoppage time and Patrick Dorgu headed the equaliser home in the final seconds.

Earlier in the day, the Blues suffered a blow at the Stadium of Light, where Enzo Le Fee’s 36th-minute penalty gave third-bottom Sunderland only their second league win of the season.

Liverpool, on the other hand, got back on track with a 3-1 win at bottom club Crystal Palace through Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, while Brighton climbed to second with a 2-0 win over Brentford.

On Saturday, Manchester City were shocked 3-1 at Nottingham Forest with champions Arsenal now five points clear at the top following a 1-0 win over Hull City.
